The Future of Human-Computer Interaction: Electromyography Wrist Interfaces for Augmented Reality Applications

As part of its three-part series on the future of human-computer interaction (HCI), Facebook Reality Labs recently published a blog post describing a wrist-based wearable device that uses electromyography (EMG) to translate electrical motor nerve signals that travel through the wrist to the hand into digital commands that can be used to control the functions of a device. Initially, the EMG wristband will be used to provide a “click,” which is an equivalent to tapping on a button, and will...
